About the Book
Everyone likes money. Most of the adult decisions and options in life center on money. In these uncertain economic times, it’s more important than ever for teenagers to get a head start and gain an early understanding of what money is and how it works.

It describes what money is, how money is earned, and provides easy-to-understand tips and strategies for saving wisely and spending frugally. Filled with numerous examples, exercises, and real-life stories, Money Matters demonstrates how you can become financially free by making small sacrifices now to enjoy the benefits later.
